A Set ialIst society Is the only true Anti
Poverty society.
This Socialist League Is formed to I'D
vance the fundamental principles Of Social
ism, which are as follows:
The main cause Of all misery, poverty
vice aud crime lies In the artificial environ
ncnts which surround the individual. Tn,
only way 10 abolish these Is to change III,
environment. This environment consists II
privileges granted TO control and monopo
lize natural resources, the tools Of p,oduc
ton, the mediums Of exchange, transporta
tion and communication by which they have
fastened upon us our Ubiquitous wage system
The way 10 change this environment Is Il
destroy the legalized power TO control oil
these things which entails upon industry re-
strietlon Of the enjoyment Of the fruits OF
production, and holds our lives subject to th,
Inn Law OF Wages.
They should properly be controlled co
operatlvely BY the workers themselves.

Tbs Remains of the Late Mrs. Annie L.

The funeral of the late Mrs. Annie E.
Caldwell took place yesterday afternoon
from her residence, Caldwell mansion,
Wood and Twenty-ninth street. The ser
vices were conducted by Rev. w. H
Cooke, DID,, pastor Of the Second Presby-
terrain Church, of which deceased was a
consistent, conscientious member, and the
reverend gentleman's remar'ts were eulog-
istic and touching. The choir of the Sec
ond Church, composed of Misses Williams
and Phillips and Messrs. Carson and
Geyer, sang several appropriate hymns
during the services, aud Come Unto
Me" at the conclusion OF the benediction.
A large number OF the friends of the de-
ceased lady and Of the family were present
to witness the last sad rites. The remains
were inferred in handsome casket, which
was covered with beautiful floral offerings
from sorrOwiug friends, the odor Of which
filled the air aud lent solemn beauty to
the scene. The pail bearers were Messrs.
George K. Taylor, Frank Hearne, Morgan

Mechen and J. l. Schilling
The interment was private and only the
relatives and immediate friends of the de-

The body was laid in the family lot beside
that of the deceased's late husband, Joseph
Caldwell. The grave was beautifully
lined with ivy and the services at the
cemetery were very impressive.

The Details of the Matter Gradually Com
Ing Out.
Justice W. H. Davis yesterday had ]. c.
Lord before him for completely in the
swindling operation whereby John A. Lash
was done out of two gold watches, and
committed the prisoner in default of 81 DOC
for hearing on the Dist inst. The story
told by Lord makes it apparent that the
swindle was carefully put up job. After
obtaining the two watches, according 10
Lords story, he pawned the most valuable
one az Franks, on Market street, FOR $40
signing the register with the name OF j. ID.
Matheney, and on the proceeds the
two took trip to Pitts6urg, Pa There
the other ticker was soaked,
and then both men came back down the
river on the Ohio side. Lord stopped il
Bridgeport, while Vancleye went on down
to Bellaue and then out the B. & o. to-
wards GAINESVILLE, stopping at Belmont fol
few DAYS. Lord also said Vancleve told
him he would get $500 from a prominent
banker in a day or two, and that he in
tended to present Lord with watch,
while Vancleve told Mr.. Lash that Lord
would get 81, loo in a few days, and that
the latter was presenting him with the
watch. Lord told the Justice he had both
watches in his possession at first, and that
he had pawned them both. The Justice
sent out to GAINESVILLE for Vancleve, and
he wes brought in last night ard lodged in
Jail. He denied Lords story in toto. II
is probable Mr.. Lash will get his property
back in a few days

There was decided change in the man.
agement of the New Mcclure House, yes
terday, MessIs. n. B. Scott and E. c.
Grant retiring. The interests Of these two
gentlemen were purchased by Mr.. Frank
H. Stamm, and the firm name will here
after be known as Stamm & Mcclure. In a
conversation yesterday with Mr.. Scott,
that gentleman said:
1.-The change came about in this way:
Mr.. Grant has found the Wheel
ing climate very trying 10
him, he having hardly experienced
a well day since his arrival. His failing
health made it almost an impossibility for
him to give the business the proper atten-
ton, and he determined to retire. This
would inevitably have throw large portion
of the cares of the business upon my own
shoulders, and as you know, am fully oc'
cupied with the details of the glass works.
Mr.. Stamm was willing to take a two
thirds Interest, and accordingly Mr..
Grant and myself transferred our respective
interests to him. He is an energetic and
capable gentleman, and am sure will, in
company with Mr.. Mcclure, maintain and
add to the reputation Of the house. We
had built up fine, paying business, and
had every reason to be satisfied with the
hotel as paying investment"

A LIVELY CASE.
A POLICE COURT TRIAL WHICH SHOWS UP
AN INIQUITY.
More About That Watch Case = Assault Il
Martins Ferry Fractured
Skull, &c, &c.

One of the most sensational cases tried
in Police Conrt for twelye-nonth, was
heard by His Honor, yesterday morning.
The cause was that Of the city v. Mrs.
Alice Schell, and the charge was keeping
a house of i'll fame at No lilo Water
street. The warrant was sworn out by
Mrs. Melissa McGlumphrey, the cause be-
ing ill-feeling alleged to exist between the
two women. About dozen Witnesses
girls of the variety known as pick
ups" and young men, who had frequent
ed the hOuSe-were summoned, with the
addition OF several reputable people, and
the testimony adduced afforded quite an
insight into the immortality constantly
going on in the city. The girls and young
men testified to having frequently resOrted
to the house for improper purposes, one
girl stating with the utmost ROHehdlanee
that she mad taken six different men to the
place within a short time. Two OF the
neighbors of Mrs. Sehell testified to hav-
ing been subjected to great annoyance and
scandal, while the whole mass Ofevidence
was of a nature to be described as tough. T"
The case was listened to with absorbing in
terest by large attendance OF spectators,
who reveled in the revelations made. His
Honor, after listening to the matter for
about two hours, continued the case until
this morning, and at the same time di-
rected that o warrant be issued for Mr..
VIM Schell, the husband of Alice, IN
order to fix the responsibility Of run
ming the house upon the proper person. A
number of witnesses in attendance yester-
day, with the addition of half dozen new
ones, have been summoned for TO day, and
fresh installment of evidence may be
looked for.
The testimony in yesterdays cause
brings forcibly to the front the large
amount of immortality existing in Wheel
ing, the parties to which are, in great
many instances, young girls Of reputable
parents, who have no idea Of the downward
course their daughters are tread
ing, or domestics working in families
or hotels. There are halt-a.dOzen places
OF resort to which these girls, after picking
up friend on the street in the evening,
make practice of going, and from the
start there made the girls generally go
rapidly downward until they become
regular inmates OF q house Of ill-fame.
There are probably q hundred such girls
in Wheeling, and from their ranks the in
mates of the various bagniOs are recruited.

BASE BALL.
NEWS NOTES PROM THE OHIO LEAGUE
DIAMONDS.
Kalamazoo Downsd by AkNn-Columbus Beats
Zanssyille-A Vain Effort 70 Organize
New Club.

To-day and tomorrow the Wheeling club
will play with the Finnertys, of Pitts
burg and tomorrow evening the boz IS will
leave for GAINESVILLE, where they will play
the last three days of the week. There is
good reason for the belief that the Ma
rooms will repeat the work of the Fourth
on the kickers' own grounds, and that
they will do so is the sincere hope of the
base ball public Of Wheeling. Last even
ing a meeting was held at Spring
field, Ohio, for the purpose Of organizing q
club to take the place made vacant by the
collapse of Steubenville, but special tele-
gram received at an early hour this morn
ing says the project fell through, lowing
to lack of Doodle and enthusiasm. "
This looks as though the League was
destined to run along in seven-club way
for some time in the future.
Following are the scores of yesterday:
